The KBO League's KT Wiz will welcome young fans alongside the popular character Pororo.

The KT organization will hold a 'Pororo Day' during the three-game series against Lotte Giants at SuwonKT Wiz Park starting on the 5th.

The popular character 'Pororo' will serve as the special ceremonial first pitch thrower on Children's Day, May 5th. According to KT, 'Pororo' will join friends 'Edi' and 'Patty' on the cheering section and conduct various inning events with fans.

Outside the stadium, a 'Pororo' photo zone will be operated. The scoreboard will display 'Pororo' themed images, providing unique entertainment for young fans. After the game, a Kids Run Base Running event will be held on the field for young fans to create special memories.

KT's starter for the day is So Hyoung-jun (25), who is walking the path of a franchise star. So Hyoung-jun graduated from Hoam Elementary (Uiheung Little), Guri Inchang Middle School, and Yushin High School before joining KT as the first-round pick in the 2020 KBO Rookie Draft. Starting with the 2020 Rookie of the Year award, he shared in KT's first-ever championship and has grown into a national team pitcher. This year, he has recorded 3 wins with no losses in 6 games, an ERA of 3.82, and 31 strikeouts in 33 innings.

It remains to be seen whether the undefeated pitcher So Hyoung-jun can wash away KT's Children's Day nightmare. Since entering the first division in 2015, KT has shown a particularly weak record on Children's Day, with only 1 win and 8 losses in history. Coincidentally, that single win was against Lotte on this day.

On Children's Day in 2022, KT defeated Lotte 8-2 in a home game in Suwon, providing a victory to young fans for the first and only time to date.

Meanwhile, to mark the Family Month of May, KT will offer selected young fans who applied in advance the opportunity to participate in the singing of the national anthem and the ceremonial first pitch. The organization will also run programs such as 'Player Escort' and 'Wiz Fungo' with the players.
